I've recently decided to go through my old photo and find the ones that might have been a good shot if it was closer in the frame. These are not walk around quality. More of a walk down the halls of time.... I took some of these over twenty years ago.

Now, to attract the attention of the Canadians.. ;)

I take shots like that all the time.  That said, I love these!

#1 - Looks like the Canadians can't count

#2 - OMFG, look at all the Scooters!

#3 - Are those F-106s?

#4 - The Coors Silver Bullet.  Cool!

Thanks for posting these!

Thanks for the warm reception! Those are F-106s. I saw those fly at B.A. show in mid 87. More to come....

Those Bear photos are fantastic. They remind me of the sort of phtos that used to be available of Soviet hardware during the Cold War.

Whoa, look at all those scooters!  I count at least 32.

That last Bear shot is awesome.  Must have been a real spine-tingling moment, seeing the "enemy" up close like that :)

More times than I can remember, plus Badgers, Mays and even a Helix! We used to operate in the South China Sea lot, or as we called it ,"Bear Country"

If you add to that an unreal vibration and hum in the air as it flys by, yes, it's an intense experience indeed. Here's the next photo in that sequence. I used to not like it because of the sunshine, but I came to see other details like being able to see through windows and such.
